7186.0. "DEClaser 5100 (LN09) NIC software on the net?" by COPCLU::PETHOMSEN () Thu May 01 1997 14:25

    Hello
    
    A customer has just bought a netcard to a DEClaser 5100. 
    
    He now wants to install the NIC software but he does not have a 
    diskette drive on his UNIX machine.
    
    Is the NIC tar file available on the net somewhere. The best solution
    would be if was available for the customer on an external web-site, but
    internally would be OK. I would rather not ask the customer to send his
    diskette to us if it is available anywhere.

	Look on the internal drivers page: http://websrv.mro.dec.com/drivers/home.htm
7186.3	Do you even need the floppy for UNIX?	TAY2P1::HOWARD	Whoever it takes	`Thu May 01 1997 19:46`	7
	If they do have a PC, they can use that without the floppy. There was also a recent note about using a Novell program to do it. Just do arp -s netaddress macadrress ping netaddress
7186.4	Clear as mud?	FUNYET::ANDERSON	OpenVMS pays the bills	`Thu May 01 1997 19:58`	9
	An arp and a ping will not set the subnet mask or gateway address. The NSCONFIG program on the TCP/IP floppy will. The Novell program to which I assume you're referring (NPMANAGE) works on Windows systems running the IPX stack. You can also run the MINIKIT program on Windows without IPX or NPMANAGE on a Macintosh. These all set the subnet mask and gateway address also. Paul
